I think the main reason Jesus is unpopular is because people love the darkness, they don't wanna come to the light because their evil deeds will show,just like the book of John says
People don't know that they're evil. First off and second the concept of hell hell makes people not want to follow your religion. I'm speaking completely non-biased here. I'm Christian as well
@tonythegreat4275 You must be a new ager. First off, you can't speak for everyone, let's get that out of the way. Second not knowing you're evil sounds like a crutch for not taking accountability. And lastly, you say you're a christian but don't wanna acknowledge hell. What in God's blue heaven are you talking about? You know what, I don't wanna know
@@tonythegreat4275 people aren’t “evil” . People are sinful and arrogant, and will fail to live up to their potential . And will be forever burdened by their traumas and desires without the lord . People don’t realize how off path they are until they pray and meet the lord . Any Christian who is only Christian to avoid hell , isn’t going to heaven .
@@tonythegreat4275and simply being baptized as a Christian in the west means little . I considers myself Christian my whole life , but in reality I ascribed to new age beliefs and never understood the church nor Christ or the duty we have as Christians to deny the desires of our flesh . Life isn’t about “feeling good” . That was a huge wake up call for me .
i am 14 and i have been doing research on christianity for about a year and 1/2. and when im talking to other people they dont even know that he is god or what the trinity is. i used to think spreading the gospel was useless because everone already heard/knew about jesus but that is far from the truth.
@@xoibsurferx don't stop. Keep doing it. You're the candle we see in the dark, leagues ahead of the rest of us. Let's us know we're not as alone as we think, that there's somebody else out there too who's doing God's work. God bless you.
most people know the existence of God, but they don't really have a personal relationship with him (Lukewarm christians, Non-believers) relationship with God is better than religion spread the gospel, say have a persoonal relationship with God
The love of God begins in the home, and these days it's getting harder and harder to find love in the home. Keep spreading the good word! Sometimes, it's easier to teach people who don't know much. Keep fighting the good fight! I love you and our Lord, and Savior Jesus Christ of Nazareth does too!
It's better to be accompanied by a few people who appriciate you telling what you deem as truth then to be accompanied by many because you tell them what they want to hear.
@@fanfellow6095 “you deem as truth” is all lies. You are a liar, i am a liar and the heart deceives. JESUS is the truth- THERE IS ONLY ONE TRUTH. “Your truth” is a modern day deception- everyone doesn’t have their own individual truth- truth is NOT subjective.
He's unpopular because it's the popular thing to hate him. Because people don't want to own up to their sins to let go of those sins they want to keep on with their ways with no consequences
@Dempsey1873 it's not that simple. People have been lied to about what Jesus stood for, and a lot of abuse that he wouldn't have condoned has been and continues to be done in his name. As an atheist, I respect Jesus and the ideas he tried to teach. He was a good guy trying to enact change in a cruel time. He did not stand for capitalism, racism, nationalism, homophobia, or abuse of women.
@BrotherBarton Well, you are right, but it still persists in christianity...and in islam. My educated guess is that it is because in traditional reality same sex couples can not have children.
@BrotherBarton To Paul it was also probably because he related homosexuality to roman orgies...which is kinda ironic considering christianity became the official religion of roman empire
@@Calper90 I, just confused what that sign is meant to mean, since it looks like a pro palestine protest it makes 0 sense. the only people who would want to “undo jesus” would be israel itself 💀
@@funnyshorts6830 And we shall know the tree by it's fruits. Everyone who says "lord lord" will not go to heaven. Is it you to judge others, no it's the opposite. It's for you to get up and help your neighbor, love your neighbor, feed and clothe them. If you are not doing the things Jesus asked you, how are you following him?
@@joecheffo5942 go say that to someone that is not a Christian. What you're saying does not apply here and I don't need to know if because i already do. This isn't personal, i just don't have the patience for things like this.
That’s my favorite thing about Jesus (other than he died for our sins) he welcomed everyone. He ate with sinners and thieves and tax collectors. And he told his followers to do the same.
@@BabyDingo no, people hated Jesus be because they hated God. Naturally, since Jesus is God. Many have claimed to be God, lol, they attract a plethora of reactions to such. Some hate, some adoration, some curiosity, some non-interest. However, with Jesus it is different because The Holy Spirit and His Standard don’t lie. Those against are opposed down to their very spirit about it, and hate will manifest no matter what (above reason, “morality”, or attempts at manipulation or suppression). Either you’re for…or against.
You lie. Jesus never once claimed to be God. He claimed to be the Messiah, which is what each of the four gospels says, and that is why certain Pharisees wanted him executed. Jesus claimed to have a God (John 20:17) whom he literally called "the only true God." You are teaching a false Christ. The title "Christ" literally means "anointed." God is the one who anointed Jesus. God _made_ Jesus Lord and Christ. - Acts 2:36 For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus. -1 Tim. 2:5 Jesus' God (John 20:17, Rev. 1:6, 3:12, Acts 3:13, Rom. 15:6, 1 Cor. 8:6, 11:3, 2 Cor. 1:3, 11:31, Eph. 1:3, Col. 1:3, 1 Tim. 2:5, 1 Pet. 3:1) is the only true God.
@@MarvelNot Your dawah will not help you here mohammadan. Tell me why would the Pharisees try to stone Jesus for blasphemy? If being the messiah is just a title as you claim-- what's the problem? Jesus did claim to be God: "The Father and I are one" John 10:30. Jesus Christ is Lord.
@@MarvelNot Tell us coward, idiot, how can Jesus be The Messiah and not be God? No man can save a soul, only God can. If that were true then “The Pope”, a righteous man, or even those of The Old Days like Moses could approve a man into Heaven. Run some more.
It is a good thing that this was a short and very straightforward video about Jesus. There are so many similarities and somewhat the same traits that we all share. The entertainment and gentleness in your voice is 5 stars out of 5 stars.☺️
I was intrigued. You are clearly a gamer but you’re posting videos about the Lord Jesus. I watched the video and you spoke the truth and I enjoyed the content. It’s hard for gamers to embrace the faith since most games are a wedge between faith and the world. I’ve been gaming most of my life “table top mostly”. I moved to a new area and I will do my best to represent the Lord among this new set of gamers I’ll be in touch with. Thank you for posting this. You’ve earned a new subscriber.
@WadeWeigle I'm really on the fence with nerd culture; it appears to be full of idols, such as Deadpool and Wolverine, Superman, Ghostbusters, and Star Wars (yes, they're in the background). How are these not the "graven images" forbidden in the Book of Exodus?
The first time I read Matt 7: 21-23, I thought that was really harsh, but it forced me to rethink what the Lord wants from me and that just going to church every Sunday is not enough.
“it is a characteristic of our age that if people want any gods at all, they want them to be gods who do not demand much, comfortable gods, smooth gods who not only don’t rock the boat but don’t even row it, gods who pat us on the head, make us giggle, then tell us to run along and pick marigolds.11 Talk about man creating God in his own image! Sometimes-and this seems the greatest irony of all-these folks invoke the name of Jesus as one who was this kind of “comfortable” God. Really? He who said not only should we not break commandments, but we should not even think about breaking them. And if we do think about breaking them, we have already broken them in our heart. Does that sound like “comfortable” doctrine, easy on the ear and popular down at the village love-in? And what of those who just want to look at sin or touch it from a distance? Jesus said with a flash, if your eye offends you, pluck it out. If your hand offends you, cut it off.12 “I came not to [bring] peace, but a sword,”13 He warned those who thought He spoke only soothing platitudes. No wonder that, sermon after sermon, the local communities “pray[ed] him to depart out of their coasts.”14 No wonder, miracle after miracle, His power was attributed not to God but to the devil.15 It is obvious that the bumper sticker question “What would Jesus do?” will not always bring a popular response. At the zenith of His mortal ministry, Jesus said, “Love one another, as I have loved you.”16 To make certain they understood exactly what kind of love that was, He said, “If ye love me, keep my commandments”17 and “whosoever … shall break one of [the] least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be … the least in the kingdom of heaven.”18 Christlike love is the greatest need we have on this planet in part because righteousness was always supposed to accompany it. So if love is to be our watchword, as it must be, then by the word of Him who is love personified, we must forsake transgression and any hint of advocacy for it in others. Jesus clearly understood what many in our modern culture seem to forget: that there is a crucial difference between the commandment to forgive sin (which He had an infinite capacity to do) and the warning against condoning it (which He never ever did even once).
I think also 5. Our culture doesn't respect the things which bring men to God: Reason, mysticism, piety, tradition... our culture hates those things and worships money, sex, hyperindividualism... I think with time there will be an opportunity to get through to the victims of the sexual revolution and bring them to Christ by teaching them why suffering exists and how Jesus heals our wounds... but as of now they don't even know who Jesus is so how could they appreciate Him
Our culture has been deliberately molded to create such people, made an environment that makes it easy and right to reject Him and mock anyone who claims to believe that which is not visible and not able to be proven in this age of complete nihilism and rejection of the preternatural.

I think that the goodness we receive is so much bigger & better than what we give. if we acknowledge that, obeying will be a pleasure. We’re only mislead by our own flesh & the worlds lies.
First of all, love your background and overall vibe! Second of all, God bless you for this wonderful video! To be honest, these are reasons why I love Jesus so much lol!
It's been said that surrendering to God/Jesus is one of the higher forms of prayer. This means we let go and listen. Jesus takes over in big as well as small things.
No one here knows anything about Jesus. He was all about helping the poor, sick and needy. Does this guy do that? Does he have videos about that? Does anyone here realize that was his message?
@@joecheffo5942 You can't assume he doesn't just because he doesn't film himself doing it. :/ Jesus even says that when you give with your right hand, don't let your left hand know. When you do charity, you're not supposed to be doing to to expect something in return (ie. clout, public adoration, something back from the recipient)
@@midnightcoffee6463 first of all I never said he didn’t. I don’t know where you read that. But that’s why I’m a humanist because it’s not about mumbo jumbo. How can people sit an example if no one sees what they’re doing? Jesus said don’t pray in public probably because prayer is worthless, but he did say help people. When you go and help people you are going to be seen by other people. Jesus didn’t say go have a religious circle jerk on the Internet. Or pray in public just to show off because you can do that stuff in your mind. Is this presenter informing people where and how they can help? Telling people where he volunteered that’s not bragging necessarily that could be just telling people good quality ways to help others. Jesus said whatever you do to the smallest you do to him. He said to feed and cloth them, I don’t think he ever said to pray for people. Why not at least comfort people by calling them on the phone? People that are shut in or sick. Meals on wheels is a great way to help older people get a hot meal. If these videos don’t lead to real action and help for people, loving help, point? Just to feel good? Love your neighbor don’t ignore them, brother. Walk the walk, not just talk to talk.
@@joecheffo5942that was in no way the entirety of His message. And just bc someone isn’t bragging about their service to others on a YT video not even addressing that topic doesn’t mean they aren’t doing those things. How disingenuous of you, a faceless nobody/possible bot, to accuse him of anything.
You must have heard about me 🤔..been in the faith for years and I have learned just how bad we as people have become..despite our best efforts at times ..also we as believers need to have each others back in AND out of church..good lesson brother and the more we are convicted the better..true discipleship..Paul was a great example of pleasing The Lord and not men..👍🏽✝️❤
In a world like this we live in, words like REPENTANCE,SELF SACRIFICE,PEACE & LOVE have little meaning unless it's to glorify ones self.Thanx for the video, everyone even those calling themselves Christians need to watch this and take heed.
The will of the Father is to believe in the Son he sent. We can never earn it with good works. Jesus didn't say I knew you and now I don't. He said I NEVER knew you. So works didn't save them. Their lack of Faith and belief in Jesus condemned them.
@ricobonifacio1095 Um no. You're mixing scripture. He says he never knew you because they were workers of iniquity. Same word sin or lawlessness. You know, the new worldly lifestyle which is to do what we want when we want even if it goes against the way of the God. Paul let us sternly know who will not make the kingdom of God. Something must be stopped before we can come into the new life God has for us.
Hey Paul! I just found your UA-cam channel! So glad I did. I really appreciate this video. It’s truth. Subbed. BTW, I recently came back to Christ myself. And I knew you in high school! Best wishes to you, your family, and your UA-cam channel Paul!

God has appointed those suffering in poverty to be great in faith. James 2:5. It's easier for a camel to pass the eye of a needle then the rich in heaven. They're treasures are stored with their hearts. He demanded mercy not sacrifice, and knowledge of God over burnt offerings. - Hosea 6:6
To obey the words of God when we don't want to is to worship God. To put our feelings away and trust that his instruction is right and true, that is what is meant by "if you love me follow my commandments." It doesn't matter if you understand, just know that trusting the Lord is always going to be the right decision and put aside your feelings. Good video! [Pro 3:5 KJV] Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. [Pro 3:6 KJV] In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. [Pro 3:7 KJV] Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.
Yeah those verses are something that I struggle with. From time to time I think about the people who never heard about Jesus. This is why I take the "second death" very seriously. I believe that God loves us humans so much that he wouldn't send someone to burn forever. Jesus did also say "fear not those who can destroy the body, but He who can destroy the body AND the soul"
@@Rolando_Cueva that's a misconception, God dosen't send people to hell because hell is not a punishment only it's creation was. It is a place described as pure eternal suffering because it's eternal separation from God and all good things come from God so logically hell is the worst of the worst. People choose to go to hell, God dosen't force anybody and he never will.
@@FRANKTHEOWL Pure eternal infinite suffering? For finite sins? Nah that makes no sense, the fire is eternal, yes. But those who reject Jesus get their bodies and souls destroyed, hence the second death.
@Rolando_Cueva People do choose to go to hell. They think God is a joke. Unfortunately ignorance of the Law will not make them safe from the consequences. You can read the bible for yourself instead of fighting us who tell you the truth. Hell is suffering. Jesus says so himself.
I really love the comment about doing His will instead of ours. A big take that I have on life is that people are very selfish in general. You need to surrender to the idea that your needs are really not that important in the scheme of things. God and the needs of others are critical. One good example of how the churches are even off are Christians that are picky about churches due to their youth program, music, etc.
I think main reason is he ask us for change. It's easier to follow our sins, and our sins doesn't require any work to be advanced, but executing His will is more harder, almost impossible (Even apostols says that), and selfimprovement requires large job. I will hope Jesus will save us all. God is love, and love will not create billions of souls who will suffering eternal. Sorry for my English
That’s bc their lampstand has been snuffed out and they follow something/one other than the Lord. Truth and the pursuit of it in the name of glorifying God is reviled now.
Brother, at the end of the video i thought i'd be amazing to have a snow white shirt with that "unpopular" JESUS patched on! Btw Great content, keep on going and GOD Bless!
I think a lot of people, i myself included, have a set view on the world and principles and then when they get challenged we try to make God fit our views or at least hope he can change so we can make those views fit and not the other way around. We try to find loopholes and compromises and when they dont work we’re just like oh well guess it wont work. I need to really work on putting God’s way before the world’s way
Go see the starving children. Go to child cancer wards. Go to the homeless. Go feed the hungry. That should be your main focus, that's what Jesus said.
Many people don’t like Jesus is because he overthrew the authority of the religious status quo and exposed their hypocrisy. And does so to this day! Secondly, Jesus was not a respecter of person’s, he unabashedly told it like it was. Truth hurt’s! Third, and this honestly scares me the coward that I am, he said that we will face persecution and even death for following him!😮 Finally, Jesus and the word exposes the false teachings of tradition that people not only held in the day, but even now! There’s the Bible and then there’s everything else. Sola scriptura! When we are told that we need to fall and break upon the rock of Christ, we all too often want to put a foam mattress over it! That’s not good enough, the Christian religion to the unrepentant sinner is very hard, but Jesus also says to take upon his yoke for it is easy, it is easy because if we fully follow him he gives us the power and strength to endure to the end! Amen
I will sing. Especially because I love your last one even though for me it sucks absolutely and because of my own personal bad decisions I put myself into a more lower position when it comes to God. I am very grateful at least I can understand an empathize or sympathize with people now.
In ancient times, there was no unemployment insurance. No retirement fund. If you were an old, tired man, you had to come up with a hustle, and fast! Everybody knew about the "Sacred Knowledge" that was circulating all over the Empire. Old men called "Wandering Holy Men" were in every corner of the Mediterranean. Every town had a resident Wandering Preacher, who carried scrolls under his arms. Such men were in great demand. The wealthy loved to invite them into their parlors, so they could watch and hear their wild stories, about demons, and angels, and mighty heroes who fought for "Salvation". They often sang, and danced around, while reading their poems. A crippled old man could make a decent living at it! By the time the 4th Century rolled around, hundreds of "Gospels" had accumulated within the Empire. It was time somebody collected them, and tried to make coherent sense of them. Constantine ordered a "cannon" be put together. About 80% of these fables were discarded, or destroyed. The "Holy Trinity" had to be quickly invented, so as to prevent "Christians" from being accused of Blasphemy. In no time, we had a new religion centered around a "Man-God" who violated the First Commandment. But the Jews immediately condemned it all. They had strict control over their "Holy Scrolls". And so you see in all the process, lots of old men got room and board, and we got our "Holy Christ Savior"!
The reason today is that he teaches what people today dont like and that is he is True Love and putting his real love into action is hard because loving your enemy isnt easy and only the help of God we get or manage to do this
In every generation God has sent His servants to rebuke sin, both in the world and in the church. But the people desire smooth things spoken to them, and the pure, unvarnished truth is not acceptable. Great Controversy 606.1 Amen!

The word "Sin" means "anything that offends a god or deity" Offending a "God" that commits so much butchery, and mayhem, as the "God of Abraham", cannot be considered evil!
@@henrikrolfsen584 Sin, in the Hebrew, means to "miss the mark" . It means to fall short of God's glory, his intention. That is why the Apostle Paul wrote, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, Romans 3:23 And For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 6:23). We all have fallen short of God's commands and that is why Christ came, because of our butchery and mayhem.
Hey, Concordant reader here. Jesus was "unpopular" because of two distinct reasons that are provided by the canonized writ. 1) He was prophesied in the Jewish religion as to be "hated" and "pierced by our iniquities". This is written mostly in the OT books of Zechariah and Isaiah. 2) Jesus was considered a heretic amongst the rabbinical hierarchy in the First century AD. A lot of ideals Jesus spoke about, nobody knew or didn't understand, as well as some things spoken from him are mysterious today. His shared ideals went against the Religion of Judaism in his time mostly for a couple of reasons. What most people fail to understand is that Jesus's physical time here on earth was for Jewish people. It was only after his resurrection that he began to evangelize a bigger crowd. (Most of the book Acts is actually for the sojourner/Jew who lived in the regions outside of Isreal) Acts 28 is where things take a turn and the Gentile is included into the message of God. And what is that said message? That Jesus Died for the sins of the world, and will lay subject all of creation to God, who has made peace with all mankind. (Read Colossians 1:20, 1st Timothy 4:10, and Ephesians as well) Sure, we can try to understand Jesus in the flesh, but we often misconstrue his words for modern meanings and myths instead of accepting the truth that he was in fact, a Jewish leader for Jewish people. It isn't until Acts 28 that Paul, the last apostle of God's message, that Gentiles are taken into the fold of God's proclamation given through the Jews. So, realistically, we can only expect the best answers to all our needs and wants found within his letters....
So are you out there feeding the poor, visiting lonely old people living alone? Jesus never said to keep sitting around saying how great he was. This is all virtue signaling. No one is actually helping. I don't see a single story here about anyone helping anyone else that is suffering. It's all about CYA and getting into heaven and high fiving each other.
@@joecheffo5942 because why would I come in here to tell you about my good works remember Christ said you don’t get in through good works alone and yes I have even before I found Christ so maybe you should take your own advice and stop assuming and coming at people’s necks and all I said was Christ is king the response you gave to that had nothing to do with what I said so what do you not believe Christ is king?

Great video. I think the expectation of change is probably the main reason many don't like the real Jesus. There's a reason that there is now a "revised" version of the gospel that states a "believer" can continue living the same life of willful sin that they have their entire life after being "saved". Not sure where they get that from reading scripture, but it's a thing that's being taught (on the internet at least).
I think the idea is that we are going to sin time and time again regardless of how much we try to not, but it is left out that you actually have to try to change still, it’s not just once your saved that automatically you can sin however much you want, it’s not the sinning that’s the problem it’s the attitude towards it. If that makes sense?
The church today is laser focused on certain sins like homosexuality while turning a blind eye to many others. Certain people who struggle with certain sins are held to a higher standard than others that the Bible addresses much more thoroughly. The church in general right now is blinded by it's pursuit of political power in America. Any sin is tolerable if tolerating it gets people elected who will criminalize homosexuality, which Jesus never addressed personally that we know of.
1:25 You know that quote is absolutely true but how I see it is steered more towards believers who think that just by being believers is enough to go to heaven. One could also argue that it indirectly says that unbeliever who tries to love their neighbour and work for the betterment of humanity is more valuable in the eyes of God and Jesus than believer who doesn't do this things. I mean God has ultimately the last word, not the Bible, right? However I realize this is a bit of a stretch as you can not directly deduce this POV from the verse mentoned...
The exclusive and inclusive makes perfect sense: “To what can I compare this generation? They are like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling out to others: 17 “‘We played the pipe for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not mourn.’ 18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon.’ 19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Here is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.’ But wisdom is proved right by her deeds.”
You're right, I DON'T LIKE TO BE ASKED TO CHANGE AND LOVE MY ENEMIES!!!! Buuut... I'm willing to learn how to grow to love it!!!❤ After all, He loves a "chief sinner" like me!!
Felt abandoned when I learned I was adopted. Felt abandoned when father died when I was 8. Felt abandoned when mother died when I was 30. Felt abandoned when I was unemployed. Felt abandoned when future plans dissolved. Felt abandoned when prayers weren't answered. Abandonment is what we feel when God says no or wait. It's what we feel when what we think we deserve doesn't happen the way we want. Jesus felt abandoned. "From noon until three in the afternoon darkness came over all the land. About three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” (which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”)." Matthew 27:45-46 I don't know why you should trust God but I trust God because He loved me, provided for me and leads me even when I doubted Him. He promised the disciples, “I will not leave you as orphans, I will come to you” John 14:18 He promises those who believe "Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” Hebrews 13:5 I don't know why you should trust God, but now is as good a time as any.
I enjoyed the message too but was distracted by the cover art from the first book in the series. What was it Dragons of Autumn Twilight? I read that probably 33 years ago 😅
Jesus always said You believe in me because of the miracles l cab do for you but not because you really believe in me. The world hates me because I'm not of this world. If l were of this world, people would love me as their own, but because l am not of this world the world hates me. Jesus said in the Gospel of John People hate me because l keep telling them that their ways are bad
The world worship Mamon, they love money. Thats why they dont like Jesus. Cant worship both. There is a high chance to be poor when you follow Jesus, because you will get rejected alot
see the thing is i do believe in jesus. i do believe what he was, and why he came here. i do believe that i need him, that we all need him. i can go on and on. what i struggle with is that i have never "heard him." sure, i have heard a in my mind (myself?) when something that i'm doing isn't right etc, but if i'm being 100% honest, it is not a different voice; it is not like if some other person is talking to me from the outside. i think it's just my own internal dialog.
@@user-td5gy2fh3p You're good. If you've read His Word, you've heard him. When you're heart is moved to help the poor, feed the hungry, visit the lonely, clothe the naked and love the unlovely, you've heard Him :) Keep going.

Ego is a huge barrier to accepting God and his grace.
I think the main reason Jesus is unpopular is because people love the darkness, they don't wanna come to the light because their evil deeds will show,just like the book of John says
People don't know that they're evil. First off and second the concept of hell hell makes people not want to follow your religion. I'm speaking completely non-biased here. I'm Christian as well
@tonythegreat4275 You must be a new ager. First off, you can't speak for everyone, let's get that out of the way. Second not knowing you're evil sounds like a crutch for not taking accountability. And lastly, you say you're a christian but don't wanna acknowledge hell. What in God's blue heaven are you talking about? You know what, I don't wanna know
@@tonythegreat4275 people aren’t “evil” . People are sinful and arrogant, and will fail to live up to their potential . And will be forever burdened by their traumas and desires without the lord .

@@BabyDingo no, people hated Jesus be because they hated God. Naturally, since Jesus is God. Many have claimed to be God, lol, they attract a plethora of reactions to such. Some hate, some adoration, some curiosity, some non-interest.
However, with Jesus it is different because The Holy Spirit and His Standard don’t lie. Those against are opposed down to their very spirit about it, and hate will manifest no matter what (above reason, “morality”, or attempts at manipulation or suppression).
Either you’re for…or against.
You lie. Jesus never once claimed to be God. He claimed to be the Messiah, which is what each of the four gospels says, and that is why certain Pharisees wanted him executed.
Jesus claimed to have a God (John 20:17) whom he literally called "the only true God."

The first time I read Matt 7: 21-23, I thought that was really harsh, but it forced me to rethink what the Lord wants from me and that just going to church every Sunday is not enough.
“it is a characteristic of our age that if people want any gods at all, they want them to be gods who do not demand much, comfortable gods, smooth gods who not only don’t rock the boat but don’t even row it, gods who pat us on the head, make us giggle, then tell us to run along and pick marigolds.11
Talk about man creating God in his own image! Sometimes-and this seems the greatest irony of all-these folks invoke the name of Jesus as one who was this kind of “comfortable” God. Really? He who said not only should we not break commandments, but we should not even think about breaking them. And if we do think about breaking them, we have already broken them in our heart. Does that sound like “comfortable” doctrine, easy on the ear and popular down at the village love-in?
And what of those who just want to look at sin or touch it from a distance? Jesus said with a flash, if your eye offends you, pluck it out. If your hand offends you, cut it off.12 “I came not to [bring] peace, but a sword,”13 He warned those who thought He spoke only soothing platitudes. No wonder that, sermon after sermon, the local communities “pray[ed] him to depart out of their coasts.”14 No wonder, miracle after miracle, His power was attributed not to God but to the devil.15 It is obvious that the bumper sticker question “What would Jesus do?” will not always bring a popular response.
At the zenith of His mortal ministry, Jesus said, “Love one another, as I have loved you.”16 To make certain they understood exactly what kind of love that was, He said, “If ye love me, keep my commandments”17 and “whosoever … shall break one of [the] least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be … the least in the kingdom of heaven.”18 Christlike love is the greatest need we have on this planet in part because righteousness was always supposed to accompany it. So if love is to be our watchword, as it must be, then by the word of Him who is love personified, we must forsake transgression and any hint of advocacy for it in others. Jesus clearly understood what many in our modern culture seem to forget: that there is a crucial difference between the commandment to forgive sin (which He had an infinite capacity to do) and the warning against condoning it (which He never ever did even once).

@@midnightcoffee6463 first of all I never said he didn’t. I don’t know where you read that.
But that’s why I’m a humanist because it’s not about mumbo jumbo. How can people sit an example if no one sees what they’re doing?
Jesus said don’t pray in public probably because prayer is worthless, but he did say help people. When you go and help people you are going to be seen by other people. Jesus didn’t say go have a religious circle jerk on the Internet. Or pray in public just to show off because you can do that stuff in your mind.
Is this presenter informing people where and how they can help? Telling people where he volunteered that’s not bragging necessarily that could be just telling people good quality ways to help others.
Jesus said whatever you do to the smallest you do to him. He said to feed and cloth them, I don’t think he ever said to pray for people. Why not at least comfort people by calling them on the phone? People that are shut in or sick. Meals on wheels is a great way to help older people get a hot meal.
If these videos don’t lead to real action and help for people, loving help, point? Just to feel good?

The will of the Father is to believe in the Son he sent. We can never earn it with good works. Jesus didn't say I knew you and now I don't. He said I NEVER knew you. So works didn't save them. Their lack of Faith and belief in Jesus condemned them.

I really love the comment about doing His will instead of ours. A big take that I have on life is that people are very selfish in general. You need to surrender to the idea that your needs are really not that important in the scheme of things. God and the needs of others are critical. One good example of how the churches are even off are Christians that are picky about churches due to their youth program, music, etc.
I think main reason is he ask us for change. It's easier to follow our sins, and our sins doesn't require any work to be advanced, but executing His will is more harder, almost impossible (Even apostols says that), and selfimprovement requires large job. I will hope Jesus will save us all. God is love, and love will not create billions of souls who will suffering eternal.

So well said. We want Jesus on our terms not His.
I think a lot of people, i myself included, have a set view on the world and principles and then when they get challenged we try to make God fit our views or at least hope he can change so we can make those views fit and not the other way around. We try to find loopholes and compromises and when they dont work we’re just like oh well guess it wont work. I need to really work on putting God’s way before the world’s way
Go see the starving children. Go to child cancer wards. Go to the homeless. Go feed the hungry. That should be your main focus, that's what Jesus said.
Many people don’t like Jesus is because he overthrew the authority of the religious status quo and exposed their hypocrisy. And does so to this day!
Secondly, Jesus was not a respecter of person’s, he unabashedly told it like it was. Truth hurt’s!
Third, and this honestly scares me the coward that I am, he said that we will face persecution and even death for following him!😮
Finally, Jesus and the word exposes the false teachings of tradition that people not only held in the day, but even now!
There’s the Bible and then there’s everything else. Sola scriptura!
When we are told that we need to fall and break upon the rock of Christ, we all too often want to put a foam mattress over it!
That’s not good enough, the Christian religion to the unrepentant sinner is very hard, but Jesus also says to take upon his yoke for it is easy, it is easy because if we fully follow him he gives us the power and strength to endure to the end! Amen
I will sing. Especially because I love your last one even though for me it sucks absolutely and because of my own personal bad decisions I put myself into a more lower position when it comes to God. I am very grateful at least I can understand an empathize or sympathize with people now.

In ancient times, there was no unemployment insurance. No retirement fund. If you were an old, tired man, you had to come up with a hustle, and fast! Everybody knew about the "Sacred Knowledge" that was circulating all over the Empire. Old men called "Wandering Holy Men" were in every corner of the Mediterranean. Every town had a resident Wandering Preacher, who carried scrolls under his arms. Such men were in great demand. The wealthy loved to invite them into their parlors, so they could watch and hear their wild stories, about demons, and angels, and mighty heroes who fought for "Salvation". They often sang, and danced around, while reading their poems. A crippled old man could make a decent living at it! By the time the 4th Century rolled around, hundreds of "Gospels" had accumulated within the Empire. It was time somebody collected them, and tried to make coherent sense of them. Constantine ordered a "cannon" be put together. About 80% of these fables were discarded, or destroyed. The "Holy Trinity" had to be quickly invented, so as to prevent "Christians" from being accused of Blasphemy. In no time, we had a new religion centered around a "Man-God" who violated the First Commandment. But the Jews immediately condemned it all. They had strict control over their "Holy Scrolls". And so you see in all the process, lots of old men got room and board, and we got our "Holy Christ Savior"!
The reason today is that he teaches what people today dont like and that is he is True Love and putting his real love into action is hard because loving your enemy isnt easy and only the help of God we get or manage to do this

We are living in the time of the end. The fast-fulfilling signs of the times declare that the coming of Christ is near at hand. The days in which we live are solemn and important. The Spirit of God is gradually but surely being withdrawn from the earth. Plagues and judgments are already falling upon the despisers of the grace of God. The calamities by land and sea, the unsettled state of society, the alarms of war, are portentous. They forecast approaching events of the greatest magnitude.

@@chrisdelong2932 LOL. You have no idea what you are talking about my friend. I asked for evidence for god and you replied with hyperbole and dishonesty. If you have no evidence just be honest and admit it otherwise just remain silent. Good luck.
The word "Sin" means "anything that offends a god or deity" Offending a "God" that commits so much butchery, and mayhem, as the "God of Abraham", cannot be considered evil!
Sin is *an immoral act considered to be a transgression against divine law*.
It does not mean *offending a god or deity*.
@@henrikrolfsen584 Sin, in the Hebrew, means to "miss the mark" . It means to fall short of God's glory, his intention. That is why the Apostle Paul wrote,
for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, Romans 3:23
And
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 6:23).
We all have fallen short of God's commands and that is why Christ came, because of our butchery and mayhem.
@@Devil--Pro "Divine Law" itself refers to a "Divine Deity". How do you define "Divine"?
Hey, Concordant reader here.
Jesus was "unpopular" because of two distinct reasons that are provided by the canonized writ.
1) He was prophesied in the Jewish religion as to be "hated" and "pierced by our iniquities". This is written mostly in the OT books of Zechariah and Isaiah.
2) Jesus was considered a heretic amongst the rabbinical hierarchy in the First century AD. A lot of ideals Jesus spoke about, nobody knew or didn't understand, as well as some things spoken from him are mysterious today. His shared ideals went against the Religion of Judaism in his time mostly for a couple of reasons.
What most people fail to understand is that Jesus's physical time here on earth was for Jewish people. It was only after his resurrection that he began to evangelize a bigger crowd. (Most of the book Acts is actually for the sojourner/Jew who lived in the regions outside of Isreal)
Acts 28 is where things take a turn and the Gentile is included into the message of God. And what is that said message? That Jesus Died for the sins of the world, and will lay subject all of creation to God, who has made peace with all mankind. (Read Colossians 1:20, 1st Timothy 4:10, and Ephesians as well)
Sure, we can try to understand Jesus in the flesh, but we often misconstrue his words for modern meanings and myths instead of accepting the truth that he was in fact, a Jewish leader for Jewish people. It isn't until Acts 28 that Paul, the last apostle of God's message, that Gentiles are taken into the fold of God's proclamation given through the Jews. So, realistically, we can only expect the best answers to all our needs and wants found within his letters....
Christ is king
So are you out there feeding the poor, visiting lonely old people living alone? Jesus never said to keep sitting around saying how great he was. This is all virtue signaling. No one is actually helping. I don't see a single story here about anyone helping anyone else that is suffering. It's all about CYA and getting into heaven and high fiving each other.
@@joecheffo5942 because why would I come in here to tell you about my good works remember Christ said you don’t get in through good works alone and yes I have even before I found Christ so maybe you should take your own advice and stop assuming and coming at people’s necks and all I said was Christ is king the response you gave to that had nothing to do with what I said so what do you not believe Christ is king?
@@joecheffo5942 btw the way you’re describing Christians is completely false cause that’s no where close to how we all are idk about you though but I pray for you
@@UsErNaMe26235 King is a human term from history. Lord is also a feudal term, head of the manner.
I have also heard boss. Never heard emperor. Ruler? Maybe. Dictator?
Father? Judge? Almighty. King of kings. Shepherd. Existence itself. Love.
Jesus I have heard called a friend, a brother, the logos, bread of life, light of the world, prince of peace, represented by a dove, a fish, water, a snake, fire.
So many names. I dont know man.
@@joecheffo5942 so then maybe you should research and actually read the Bible for yourself to see because last time I checked we only call Christ the king of Kings, which it says that Lord savior almighty shepherd and dearest the closest friend also none of those matter what really matters is your relationship with him and understanding that he is God in the flesh I strongly encourage you to read the Bible, especially the New Testament, which is the story about Jesus and his life here on earth
Great video. I think the expectation of change is probably the main reason many don't like the real Jesus. There's a reason that there is now a "revised" version of the gospel that states a "believer" can continue living the same life of willful sin that they have their entire life after being "saved". Not sure where they get that from reading scripture, but it's a thing that's being taught (on the internet at least).
I think the idea is that we are going to sin time and time again regardless of how much we try to not, but it is left out that you actually have to try to change still, it’s not just once your saved that automatically you can sin however much you want, it’s not the sinning that’s the problem it’s the attitude towards it. If that makes sense?
The church today is laser focused on certain sins like homosexuality while turning a blind eye to many others. Certain people who struggle with certain sins are held to a higher standard than others that the Bible addresses much more thoroughly. The church in general right now is blinded by it's pursuit of political power in America. Any sin is tolerable if tolerating it gets people elected who will criminalize homosexuality, which Jesus never addressed personally that we know of.
He is our breath of life.
Jesus has a stern unyielding side to Him - just ask Oswald Chambers! My Utmost For My Highest. Best Daily Devotional ever!!!
1:25 You know that quote is absolutely true but how I see it is steered more towards believers who think that just by being believers is enough to go to heaven. One could also argue that it indirectly says that unbeliever who tries to love their neighbour and work for the betterment of humanity is more valuable in the eyes of God and Jesus than believer who doesn't do this things. I mean God has ultimately the last word, not the Bible, right? However I realize this is a bit of a stretch as you can not directly deduce this POV from the verse mentoned...
The exclusive and inclusive makes perfect sense:
“To what can I compare this generation? They are like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling out to others:
17 “‘We played the pipe for you,
and you did not dance;
we sang a dirge,
and you did not mourn.’
18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon.’ 19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Here is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.’ But wisdom is proved right by her deeds.”
This was a great video, thank you.
Jesus Christ of Nazareth is the Truth and the Life, he is Lord.
I agree the Jesus is the only way to get to haeven. You will find Him in Holy Sacraments like Confession and Eucharist in the Catholic Church.
This is super useful!
@@Atchei0117 thanks!
Amazing and greatly made video. Thank You ❤
PLEASE MAKE MORE VIDEOS LIKE THIS🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾GOD BLESS
7:45 i didnt expect that teens would be mentioned
You're right, I DON'T LIKE TO BE ASKED TO CHANGE AND LOVE MY ENEMIES!!!! Buuut... I'm willing to learn how to grow to love it!!!❤ After all, He loves a "chief sinner" like me!!
And me :)
Also, he stands for SOMETHING in a time where they want you believing nothing further than the “majority’s” limited opinions.
God bless you
His will be done not ours.
Jesus Christ is King! 💜🃏 Thank you for your commentary.
How do you know he is king? Thank you.
Thankyou, this was very interesting and easy to understand.
Jesus is king👑
jesus may preach love but he does not preach tolerance
I called out for Jesus when I needed help. He never helped me. He abandoned me. Why should I trust someone who abandoned me?
Felt abandoned when I learned I was adopted.
Felt abandoned when father died when I was 8.
Felt abandoned when mother died when I was 30.
Felt abandoned when I was unemployed.
Felt abandoned when future plans dissolved.
Felt abandoned when prayers weren't answered.
Abandonment is what we feel when God says no or wait. It's what we feel when what we think we deserve doesn't happen the way we want.
Jesus felt abandoned.
"From noon until three in the afternoon darkness came over all the land. About three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” (which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”)."
Matthew 27:45-46
I don't know why you should trust God but I trust God because He loved me, provided for me and leads me even when I doubted Him.
He promised the disciples,
“I will not leave you as orphans, I will come to you” John 14:18
He promises those who believe
"Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.”
Hebrews 13:5
I don't know why you should trust God, but now is as good a time as any.
Great message. Cool Dragon-Lance picture.
@@jasonfisher693 thanks and thanks for noticing ;)
I enjoyed the message too but was distracted by the cover art from the first book in the series. What was it Dragons of Autumn Twilight? I read that probably 33 years ago 😅
@@GarageBandGospel I have all 3 covers, signed, but only one hanging. Probably Autumn Twilight. :m
Jesus always said You believe in me because of the miracles l cab do for you but not because you really believe in me. The world hates me because I'm not of this world. If l were of this world, people would love me as their own, but because l am not of this world the world hates me. Jesus said in the Gospel of John People hate me because l keep telling them that their ways are bad
amazing video a lot of people take Jesus lightly but he is God in human form the Logos
We need to strive to eagerly get to know God every day. ❤
Great work!
All I know is, that if they'res a possibility that heaven and the new Earth exists. I'm not risking it for society
Hey Paul, is there any way to look at what your lesson looks like before I decide to purchase the entire series?

The world worship Mamon, they love money. Thats why they dont like Jesus. Cant worship both.
There is a high chance to be poor when you follow Jesus, because you will get rejected alot
5:54 I agree. I don't like being told what to do by a fucking book.
No one dislikes Jesus more than Trump Christians.
see the thing is i do believe in jesus. i do believe what he was, and why he came here. i do believe that i need him, that we all need him. i can go on and on. what i struggle with is that i have never "heard him." sure, i have heard a in my mind (myself?) when something that i'm doing isn't right etc, but if i'm being 100% honest, it is not a different voice; it is not like if some other person is talking to me from the outside. i think it's just my own internal dialog.
@@user-td5gy2fh3p You're good. If you've read His Word, you've heard him. When you're heart is moved to help the poor, feed the hungry, visit the lonely, clothe the naked and love the unlovely, you've heard Him :) Keep going.
Repentance. Change in the name of The Lord
Really nice video! I enjoyed it.
